Trends in alcohol consumption in middle-aged and older adults, assessed with self-report and the alcohol marker phosphatidylethanol – A longitudinal HUNT study
Drinking patterns among middle-aged and older Norwegians have changed since the 1990s with a trend toward more abstinence and less heavy episodic drinking and PEth concentrations ≥0.03 µmol/l in both women and men with increasing age. There is a trend of more risky drinking with age among both sexes.
